      <title>Jeremy comes to Portland</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2005/11/01/planet-argon-core-team-grows-plus-one"&gt;I announced&lt;/a&gt; almost two weeks ago that &lt;a href="http://jvoorhis.com"&gt;Jeremy Voorhis&lt;/a&gt; was taking the position as Lead Architect at &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PLANET ARGON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s been here for a week and a day now&amp;#8230; and it feels like we&amp;#8217;ve worked together for quite a long time already.  When he hasn&amp;#8217;t been coding in Emacs and working with the awesome &lt;a href="http://www.rubyonrails.com"&gt;Ruby on Rails&lt;/a&gt; framework, we&amp;#8217;ve been wandering the city&amp;#8230;. and yes, he&amp;#8217;s been &lt;a href="http://www.powells.com"&gt;Powells&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;a href="http://www.jvoorhis.com/articles/2005/11/13/one-week-in-portland"&gt;He claims to like Portland&lt;/a&gt;. :-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12289674@N00/63131949/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/24/63131949_63aa705014_m.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I took a picture of him yesterday when he was discussing a clients project that we&amp;#8217;re currently refactoring. The project comes to us with an existing schema, codebase, and opinions.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve been working on several of these types of projects together in the past few months&amp;#8230; which prompted us to deciding to start our project, &lt;a href="http://www.refactoringrails.com"&gt;Refactoring Rails&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s been great working with him in person. He, like some of the other developers that we call upon for some projects, had been assisting us through &lt;span class="caps"&gt;IRC&lt;/span&gt;, IM, and &lt;a href="http://www.basecamp.com"&gt;BaseCamp&lt;/a&gt;... and being able to be in the same office together&amp;#8230; has been very beneficial.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In any event&amp;#8230; I thought it would be fun to post a picture of Jeremy. :-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Stay tuned&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;P.S. You can see a drawing that Allison created of Jeremy on the &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com/about.html"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PLANET ARGON&lt;/span&gt; about page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;There is a rumor that his mother photoshoped &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com/images/jeremy.jpg"&gt;the drawing&lt;/a&gt; and put his head on the &lt;a href="http://www.mrhall.org/funstuff/mrhallcostumes/superman.gif"&gt;body of SuperMan&lt;/a&gt;. I beg you all to convince him to post ig on his blog.&lt;/em&gt; ;-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;...off to get some sleep.&lt;/p&gt;
